We Already Know What Will Happen

We already know what is going to happen with Iran. In a few years, there will be an underground nuclear detonation signaling that Iran has learned to make a bomb and is deploying a nuclear arsenal. It will destabilize the region and provoke a war that is even now foreseeable.

But until the moment the seismographs register the nuclear explosion, Democrats and the media will deny the possibility.

We know this will happen.

We know it from recent history. Mitt Romney publicly spoke about the dangers of Chinese hackers and the Chinese stance toward our national security. He was mocked my supposed foreign policy experts. He was maligned by a press corps that thinks itself an expert on these matters. And he has been proven right.

The same happened with Russia. The media attacked Mitt Romney for the audacity of suggesting Hillary Clinton’s reset with Russia was not really a reset so much as a signal that we could be taken.

The very same media that ridiculed and maligned Mitt Romney as out of his league is already heralding the President’s deal with Iran as some great and grand scheme to give us peace in our times.

The Democrat Party is in open celebration. Barack Obama deserves a second Nobel Prize. It is all about protecting the precious for them.

And it will remain that way until Iran signals that it has a bomb. War will begin. The right and Israel will be proven correct. But by then it will be too late.

President Obama brings the world one step closer to war, but the media that has defended the precious for so long will keep doing so. They are invested in the legacy of the man they made.

I worry about Phil Anschutz because I’ve always viewed him as a good caretaker of conservatism and scuttling the Weekly...

Republicans actually had a pretty good night last night with the Senate, the Georgia Governor’s race, the two seats in Florida, the Ohio Governor’s race, etc. In fact, Democrats could not flip a single seat in the House that Trump carried by 55% or more. The truth is, Donald Trump may be abnormal in his behaviors as a politician, but politically he is not that abnormal. If anything...

Democrats picked up the United States House of Representatives, flipped seven state legislative chambers, added six states where Democrats now control both the state legislature and Governor’s Mansion, and the three states that put Trump over the finish line (Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) all elected Democrat Governors and Senators. But Republicans made gains in the Senate in...

All politics should be local, but President Trump himself has insisted it is like he is on the ballot. And he is right. Today is a nationalized election about Donald Trump and depending on where you live it will have major implications for Democrats and Republicans. In urban and suburban areas, there has been a decided shift away from President Trump. That will impact House races and more likely...
